We’ve had this IE error reported 3 times this week:

Line: 130
Character: 4
Code: 0
Error Message: ‘script.parentNode’ is null or not an object

The issue:
The SWFObject library is included multiple times on a page causing the IE DOM ready check hack it uses internally to be triggered multiple times. This hack inserts and removes a test node. Since the first instance removes this node, additional tries cause the error.

Solution:
Remove multiple imports of <script src=”swfobject.js” type=”text/javascript”></script> from your page.
